Chu Xiangqian was overjoyed, which meant it could definitely be repaired.
Just for fashion items, gold coupons are needed to repair and buy them.
However, I already have 621 gold coupons, so I can repair a few watches.
He smiled at Qianzi and asked, "Brother, are there any watches of this brand?"
In terms of its ability to maintain value, Patek Philippe will definitely rank among the top three.
Chu Xiangqian naturally preferred this brand of watches for his collection.
Soon, Chu Xiangqian had two old watches in front of him, but the price made it impossible to pick them up.
Of course, in fact, in the eyes of acne, the first watch is not picking up a leak, but throwing money into the water.
Although the two Patek Philippes at the back cost 94 yuan in total, at least the watch can run and be used.
If the original strap is replaced, it will look 70% to 80% new.
How could Chu Xiangqian listen to him? As long as the original watch strap is there, it will be more valuable for collection.
Without any hesitation, I bought these two watches for 94.
Then, with acne looking at him like a fool, he walked over to Gong Changqing.
Old Man Gong also looked at a fool and said, "You have so much money to burn, why did you buy three watches that no one wants?"
"What do you know?" Chu Qianqian said with a smile, "It's hard to buy something you like when you have money. If I like it, can you take care of it?"
"Yes," Gong Changqing shook his head. If he encountered a piece of good porcelain, he would still want to buy it even if he didn't eat or drink it.
"I have contacted many old friends in the past few days, and I have also come to see a lot of good things. But this time, while I am willing to exchange antiques for meat, I also hope to use gold bars, silver dollars and money to buy more meat."
Chu Qianqian was startled, "It seems that you old guys also realize that the days after the Chinese New Year are likely to be more difficult."
Seeing that he saw through it at a glance, Gong Changqing stopped hiding it and whispered, "We people are not in power now and have no business, but the old relationships from the past are still there.
Write letters, send telegrams to the north, ask questions in the south, and you can always collect some information.
And it’s not like there were no precedents for two or even three consecutive harvest seasons in previous years.
If you look at history books, there are more such records.
Seeing that this year is so difficult, if we don’t make more preparations, if there is still a severe drought next year, people will really starve to death.
At that time, what’s the point of hiding gold bars and antiques in your hands? "
Chu Qianqian nodded. Chinese people have always had the awareness to prepare for a rainy day, and the history of the Celestial Dynasty is a history of starvation.
Any dynasty that can have enough to eat is a prosperous one.
But in the entire history, how many can be called prosperous times?
And even in the prosperous times, there are still many people who are hungry.
If you look through county annals from various places, you can always find words about great famine, disaster, or famine in a certain year.
Chu Xiangqian didn't hesitate. Anyway, more and more meat was stored in the warehouse. If safety could be guaranteed, selling some would be considered a clearance.
"How much do you want?"
Gong Changqing was stunned and asked, "How many do you have?"
Chu Qianqian chuckled, thinking that if he was trading outside the city, or even in the mountains, there would be no problem in terms of safety.
"500 catties of fish, 50 catties of chestnuts, and 50 catties of red dates."
After a pause, there were already 200 pheasants and 105 hares, but we couldn't sell more of these things.
Otherwise, no matter how powerful the hunter is, it is impossible to collect so many in a short period of time.
On the contrary, of the 4 wild boars in the warehouse, 2 can be taken out. Keep the 400-pound big pig and the 200-pound piglet for later use.
As for the 10 silly roe deer raised in Novice Village, Chu Xiangqian thought about it and still had no intention of selling it.
"Two wild boars weigh 380 kilograms after slaughter, and 20 pheasants and 20 hares weigh about 160 kilograms."
After Gong Changqing heard this, his breathing became heavy.
He quickly took out his abacus and began to calculate.
Moreover, this guy's heart has long been toward Chu Qianqian. After all, he clearly sees that he is just a middleman.
Chu Xiangqian was happy so that he could get more meat.
"The fish in Pigeon Market costs 3 cents per catty, so I'll give you 5 cents, a total of 250 yuan. Chestnuts cost 3 cents, and red dates cost 7 cents, a total of 50 yuan.
Wild boars, pheasants, and hares all cost 2 yuan a pound. That’s 1,080 yuan. "
Gong Changqing suppressed his excitement and waved the last bead, "The total is 1,380 yuan."
Chu nodded forward and said, "I will definitely not transport the things into the city. If you tell me about those connections, if you want these things, go to the Xuanfu Palace outside the city at 12 o'clock tonight and wait."
Gong Changqing had no objection to this, and Xuanfu Palace called back to Longguan.
It's about 30 miles away from Deshengmen, so it's not too far away.
He just said worriedly, "Huilongguan is not a small place, and it's dark and we can't see clearly. How can we find you?"
Chu Xiangqian said without any worry, "You don't need to look for me, my two dogs will find you."
Although Gong Changqing was still worried, thinking about it, 1,380 yuan seemed like a lot, but in fact, he could only bring 3 gold bars tonight.
Three gold bars cost exactly 660 yuan, and the remaining 720 yuan must be offset by antiques. Otherwise, it will be difficult to do business with Chu Er next time.
Based on the price of 720 points, it will take about 10 treasures.
After Gong Changqing had an idea, he smiled and said, "At noon, I will go to some old friends to look for good things, and I will take them to my house first.
After you return to the city tomorrow, if it's early, go to my house. "
Chu nodded forward, and then his heart moved, "If you have calligraphy and paintings by Tang Bohu, Zheng Banqiao, Huizong Zhao Ji, bring them to me."
Gong Changqing suddenly showed a troubled expression on his face.
If several companies work together, they can easily come up with a few good calligraphy, paintings, and antiques that the owner doesn't like but that are good.
But if it is limited to three people including Tang Bohu, some companies may not be willing to do so, or they may not have them at all.
Moreover, the calligraphy and paintings of Huizong Zhao Ji are okay, but most people nowadays don't like them, but the calligraphy and paintings of Tang Bohu and Zheng Banqiao have always been scarce.
"Okay, let me ask. If there is any, I will get it for you."
Chu Xiangqian left the commission shop and rode his bicycle towards the outside of the city.
Fortunately, last time I asked Aiguo and Aimin to bring back a lot of bamboo baskets and bamboo baskets from the forest farm. More than an hour later, Chu Xiangqian arrived outside Huilong Temple.
At this time, there was only a small village around Huilongguan. Chu Qianqian did not go to that village, but sent out long-tailed tits to look around.
An hour later, after roughly checking the nearby terrain, we entered Novice Village. Leaving the tits to fall and stare at the outside.
After a long sleep, I woke up naturally. I looked at the long-tailed tit and found that it was already dark outside.
Chu Xiangqian suddenly lost all thoughts of going back to the street and seeing off the silly roe deer.
Anyway, the reason was easy to find. I casually told Chen Huaili that I encountered a nest of hares on the mountain and took some time to get it, which delayed my return to the city.
I believe that not only would Chen Huaili not blame him, he would actually be happy because he got a few more hares.
I sat in a Novice Village restaurant and ate roasted pheasant and roasted chestnuts.
Only then did Chu Qianqian think, he might as well clean up the pheasants and hares.
Not only can rabbit skin be made into fur coats, hats and gloves, but chicken feathers can also be made into feather dusters.
Rather than taking advantage of Gong Changqing's old connections, it's better to keep them for yourself in exchange for some small money.
Just do it as soon as you think of it, and soon, 20 pheasants and 20 hares were taken care of.
While waiting, Chu Xiangqian also repaired three Patek Philippe watches in a jewelry store.
A 2-point gold coupon was not expensive at all for Chu Xiangqian at this time.
After being repaired in the jewelry store, the three watches seemed to be brand new. Chu Xiangqian secretly said that he could no longer use the game to repair these three watches in the future.
Otherwise, decades later, if it still looks like new, it will definitely be called a fake.
I picked an inconspicuous watch, put it on my hand and tried it on. With a smile on my face, I realized that I am a man who has a famous watch to wear.
And when you buy these three watches, two of them can tell time, so you don’t have to worry about inaccurate time.
At around 11 o'clock in the evening, the reminder of the tit came to my mind. Through the sight of the tit, I quickly discovered that Gong Changqing and his group had arrived early.
Chu Xiangqian didn't care. After all, the fish, chestnuts, and red dates in his hands were only 415 kilograms and 80 kilograms. The weight is not enough, so I have to collect the fish and chestnuts that spawned in the novice village after 12 o'clock.
Moreover, he could also take the opportunity to let Ti Qiao take a closer look behind and around Gong Changqing and his group to see if there was anyone ambushing them.
Fortunately, the results are not bad.
Although the eight people were with them, they knew in their hearts that if the gangsters attacked the gangsters, they would be the only ones who would die.
After 12 o'clock, let Da Zhuang and Hong Niu go brush pheasants and hares, while I went to collect chestnuts and red dates.
Then he caught all the fish in the river east of Novice Village.
Only then did I start using bamboo baskets to carry things.
Appear in the real world with a big and lusty red girl.
He climbed up a big tree, took out his bow and arrow, and looked at the anxious Gong Changqing and others waiting at the foot of the mountain from a distance.
Chu Xiangqian directed Da Zhuang with his mind to see Gong Changqing.
But they didn't rush to let Da Zhuang bring them over. Instead, they first placed a dozen bamboo baskets on the snow.
Gong Changqing and his group felt relieved when they saw that a dog really came to find them and others.
I just waited and waited, but no one came.
Gong Changqing was actually anxious in his heart, but he knew not to show it.
He whispered, "The dogs have come here, and the people must be nearby. They should be searching for any ambush around us."
After everyone heard this, they felt a little relieved.
After waiting for more than an hour, when the wild boar and fish were almost frozen, Chu Xiangqian blew a whistle.
Gong Changqing and others saw Da Zhuang, who had been sitting in front of them, and heard the whistle, got up and left.
After taking a few steps, he stopped and looked back, and he immediately understood that he was asking others to follow him.
He was busy pushing two carts and followed Da Zhuang.
After walking for a few minutes, I saw a dozen bamboo baskets placed on the ground.
Everyone took a flashlight and came forward to take a look. They were overjoyed, but they couldn't help but feel regretful when they didn't find anyone around.
On the contrary, Gong Changqing was secretly happy. He wished Chu Qianqian would not show up.
In order to avoid these old relationships, he put himself aside to deal with Chu Xiangqian.
Gong Changqing looked at a middle-aged man and said, "Hu Ruwen, should the gold bars be handed over to me now?"
Hu Ruwen nodded hurriedly. There were so many fish, wild boars, pheasants, and hares. It was obvious at a glance that a group of hunters could unite to get it done.
If they take things without giving them money, just thinking about the revenge of these hunters, people like Hu Ruwen will know that the consequences will be serious.
Besides, since the people behind it are willing to accept gold bars or even silver dollars, they can't just do this one transaction.
After the gold bars arrived in Gong Changqing's hands, another whistle came from not far away. Da Zhuang shouted twice to Gong Changqing and others, turned around and ran into the darkness.
Hu Ruwen was startled and thought to himself that it was a good thing that he didn't act recklessly. Otherwise, who knows if there was a hunter in the forest ten or eight meters away who was staring at him and others, and also aimed his gun at him and others.
He shouted to several people, "No need to weigh yourself. There is no need for people to lie to us for one or two pounds.
Hurry up and load the cart and leave immediately. There is still twenty-five or six miles to go back, so as not to go back late before dawn. "
After everyone thought about it, they felt that this was correct.
He hurriedly lifted the bamboo basket and put it on the cart, and finally covered it with straw.
Twos and threes pushed carts back to the city.
Fortunately, this group of people has no plans to go directly to the city with their things.
Instead, they were first placed in a courtyard outside the city and brought into the city little by little.
In order to avoid encountering patrolmen and being eaten in one fell swoop.
As long as you bring few things, even if you are found out, you can still say that you went to the countryside to find relatives in exchange for it.
No matter how bad it is, at most it will be confiscated and the loss will not be big.
Chu Qianqian did not leave in a hurry, but entered the Novice Village again, letting Da Zhuang and Hong Niu get behind Gong Changqing and others. At the same time, there were still tits watching in the sky.
It wasn't until the group of people entered Tuchenggou, a yard near the ruins of the capital city wall of the Yuan Dynasty, that Chu Xiangqian took out his bicycle and rode back.
In less than an hour, Da Zhuang and Hong Niu took the reunited people back to Novice Village and rode directly to the streets.
As we approached the street, we took out a silly roe deer in an alley.
He put them in a bamboo basket and tied them on the back seat of the car. He took out five hares and put them in a basket with a lid, and then walked slowly into the street.
Old man Sun's eyes lit up when he saw a basket hung on the frame of Chu's front car and a bamboo basket tied to the back seat of the car.
He hurriedly walked out of the guard room, "Xiao Chu, did you go into the mountains yesterday?"
"That's for sure." Chu Qianqian laughed and opened the lid of the bamboo basket first. "A 63-pound silly roe deer and five hares are enough for us to eat for two days."
Old Man Sun nodded happily, but within a few seconds he smiled and cursed, "How can you eat it in such a way? A few dozen kilograms of meat, if you eat it sparingly, it is enough to feed more than 20 people on the street for a week." "
Chu Xiangqian shrugged indifferently. These days, a few lard residues in cabbage is considered a meat dish.
Eat sparingly, it will last you a week indeed.
Chu Xiangqian simply refused to go into the street, "Uncle Sun, why don't you just put these things at your guard post first, and I'll go home and catch up on some sleep."
Old Man Sun immediately mistakenly thought that Chu Qianqian was riding his bicycle back to the city overnight.
While nodding hurriedly, he advised, "Don't walk at night next time. You are still going out for work. You don't have to worry about anyone saying you are absent from work."
Chu Xiangqian was secretly happy, "Okay, then I'll go back and take a nap, then come back to work tomorrow."
Chu Qianqian returned to the courtyard and happened to meet people in the courtyard going to work.
Everyone remembered that yesterday morning, all the meat bought at the market was 80% fat.
He instantly became enthusiastic about Chu Xiangqian's attitude.
"Go forward, did you work overtime and only come back now?"
Several boys even took the initiative to help him carry his bicycle over the steps of the gate.
